Books

I co-authored the advanced iOS Programming book, iOS 6 Programming: Pushing the limits with Rob Napier. It’s available on most online stores including Amazon, iBooks and most brick and mortar stores throughout the world. If you prefer a dead tree version shipped to your home free of cost, you can get one from Book Depository

Open Source Contributions

I’ve also made extensive contributions to the iOS open source community and some of my most popular work include,

If you are a game programmer, you might have integrated MKStoreKit to enable In-App purchasing in your app. MKStoreKit is fully ARC compliant, block-based drop dead simple library that helps you integrate IAP in your app.
You can learn more about MKStoreKit and In App Purchases in general, in my first tutorialIntroduction to In App Purchases

Later in 2010, I added support for Server Product Model and consumables in MKStoreKit 3. A quick introduction to the new features is over at MKBlog: Introducing MKStoreKit 3.0

Other contributions

I also made several open source components like MKInfoPanel, MKEntryPanel, MKiCloudSync, MKHorizMenu, MKTickerView and UIKitCategoryAdditions. The mentioned components have more than 100 watchers as on date. I’ve made even more components and you can get them all for free from my Github page.
